Personification Life - IC Part VII [open]

[Tiltjuice]

"Majorly," she laughed. "It wouldn't have changed them being married. It would just mean that the family didn't approve."

She looked over to Luce. "You lost your glasses? Would you like a new pair?" She hastily opened her coin purse and began to rifle through it. "We can change the glass to match your prescription, and it'll tide you over until we get back to Earth so you can get a new pair, if you'd like?"

"I'd appreciate that, sure," Luce said, and smiled. "Red tape - the bane of us all." He took another chug of champagne.

[Germanic Templars]

Swith looked at Thriller. "How about informal?" she asked as she pulled a small box from the brocade folds.

"Sounds fair to me." *he replied, as he pat his pockets down for the box... Which he might of forgotten.* "Oh dammit, the ring."

[The BranRiech]

"Majorly," she laughed. "It wouldn't have changed them being married. It would just mean that the family didn't approve."

She looked over to Luce. "You lost your glasses? Would you like a new pair?" She hastily opened her coin purse and began to rifle through it. "We can change the glass to match your prescription, and it'll tide you over until we get back to Earth so you can get a new pair, if you'd like?"

"That's the only plus to not having a family anymore, I don't need their approval for anything. My mother never would have approved of Amaryllis, trust me, she wouldn't." Bran chuckled again. "Same idea really, different families."

[Torsiedelle]

"Well, okay."

Katya and Torii grabbed large slabs of what loomed like steak. Katya pointed Yoshi to some other foods.

Yoshi fixed a small plate of fruits, vegetables, and poultry of some kind, probably chicken

The sisters took a seat, looking around the room curiously and eating. They exchanged words once again in their native language, gave kisses on the cheek, laughed a bit, and seemed to be enjoying themselves.

[New Aksarben]

Albert and Jacob both attended the ceremony. They wore their normal clothing, mainly because they still didn't have anything else with them. Jacob was wearing his hoodie and Jeans. Albert was wearing his formal Aksarben military outfit, which he had saved from the destruction of the building. The two sat next to each other, which might cause some confusion due to them looking alike despite clothing and eye-color. They remained politely quiet during the proceedings, not wanting to be rude. Albert looked a little bored, though. After it was over, Albert looked over at his brother and said in Latin, "Vos vere postulo impetro delicatus vestimenta."

Jacob rolled his eyes and responded, "Possum delicatus vestimenta nobis post revertar in terram."

"Quidquid discis, tibi verisimile non vult."

"Utique. Eos non vere opus?" Jacob replied with a grin.

Albert sighed at looked at the food being placed at all the tables. "At least the food looks nice..... But how are we supposed to eat without utensils?" He shrugged, then took a sip of his wine.

"You really need to get nicer clothes."
"I can get nice clothes after we return to the Earth."
"Whatever, you likely won't."
"Of course. I don't really need them right?"

[Swith Witherward]

Swith looked at Thriller. "How about informal?" she asked as she pulled a small box from the brocade folds.

"Sounds fair to me." *he replied, as he pat his pockets down for the box... Which he might of forgotten.* "Oh dammit, the ring."

"No ring?" Swith peered into his shirt pocket.

"Well, Swith approves of Rylli," Naomi reassured Bran. "She's a very sweet girl."

She found a pair of glasses and pulled them from the tiny purse. They were somewhat trendy with clean lines and a wire frame. She held them up for Luce and Bran to see, and she shrugged. "This'll do?"

[The BranRiech]

"I know she does." Bran stated. "And hell, if my parents were still alive, I would've gave them a big "Screw off" and still go with my Rylli." He said contently as he'd suddenly forgotten about gifts yet again.

"W-We don't need to bring gifts, right? God, I feel so horrible now."

[Urran]

Yoshi fixed a small plate of fruits, vegetables, and poultry of some kind, probably chicken

The sisters took a seat, looking around the room curiously and eating. They exchanged words once again in their native language, gave kisses on the cheek, laughed a bit, and seemed to be enjoying themselves.

Yoshi couldn't understand a word of course, but he sat and ate and looked where they looked and at least pretended to be interested

Minerva knelt between the two reached out to ladle some rice onto her plate. "It's an odd custom found in some eastern countries on Earth. You see, Chaos is actually worshiped in earlier timelines. Many of the Hindi people embrace it as their religion rather than the mainstream one found in India. The gods' names are the names the Hindu have given them, and their attire reflects their ties to that people whenever they are on Earth."

She used her fingertips to lift rice to her mouth. "Communal eating this way is very much a part of that culture. That's why meats are on sticks, or are bite sized. You won't find any American or European fare here. Actually, the only reason there's meat is because the gods themselves aren't vegetarian."

Naomi shook her head at Bran. "Nope, no gifts. Not to Thriller and Swith. You can light a paper lantern and set it in the water. Your heart's joy is set free on the water to shine as a beacon for all to see. That's how you honor the couple.

[Tiltjuice]

"Well, Swith approves of Rylli," Naomi reassured Bran. "She's a very sweet girl."

She found a pair of glasses and pulled them from the tiny purse. They were somewhat trendy with clean lines and a wire frame. She held them up for Luce and Bran to see, and she shrugged. "This'll do?"

"As good as any," Luce said. "Quite an odd thing to keep in one's purse, though." He grinned.

"ah! Dēn Swith?
"Dā, dā. Æyāsā sā Mīnßtür Nikānør!"
"Hövēnweißen."

The sisters giggled, then looked at Yoshi.

"Īsent Yōshī bütæn?"
"Nā. Aï préfõr fæmāløs."

They smirked at each other and giggled again.

[The BranRiech]

"Oh, good then. I think Rylli might have something for them, but I could tell her not to."

Bran de-pinned one of his few medals. It had orange ribbons and a small depiction of a heroic-looking soldier holding a wrench as well as a Soviet banner, behind him, a flight of MiG-21's made a passby.

"Order of the Branriech mechanincs" was inscribed in Cyrillic. On the back of said medal, "Branson Nikanor + Amaryllis Volkova" was carved into the back with a small knife.

Bran smiled and grabbed one of the lanterns, pinning the medal to that instead for its final voyage.

[The New Velociraptor Empire]

The Von Eldritch Family ate quietly...well except for the chicks who stuffed their faces and Arthur who was still a bit drugged. Neil and NVE were slightly upset that they couldn't kill Thriller off and would probably have to sell the overly elaborate death trap they built. Gretta, Nevvie, and fortu were happy for their friend Swith. As for Arthur, he swatted at imaginary bats that plagued the place.

[Swith Witherward]

"Well, Swith approves of Rylli," Naomi reassured Bran. "She's a very sweet girl."

She found a pair of glasses and pulled them from the tiny purse. They were somewhat trendy with clean lines and a wire frame. She held them up for Luce and Bran to see, and she shrugged. "This'll do?"

"As good as any," Luce said. "Quite an odd thing to keep in one's purse, though." He grinned.

She chuckled and held the coin purse so he could see inside gaping maul containing the swirling vortex of doom that existed in that dimensional clusterf*ck of insanity Naomi called "the junk drawer".

"Just hammerspace," she said. "If I stick it in there, I can find it again. I'm sort of a hoarder."

Naomi watched Bran's actions. "You know, he's really sweet. Good hearted man."

[Urran]

"ah! Dēn Swith?
"Dā, dā. Æyāsā sā Mīnßtür Nikānør!"
"Hövēnweißen."

The sisters giggled, then looked at Yoshi.

"Īsent Yōshī bütæn?"
"Nā. Aï préfõr fæmāløs."

They smirked at each other and giggled again.

Yoshi blushed. "i-if you are going to talk about me the least you could do is say it in a tongue I can understand." he said with a hurt look.

[Swith Witherward]

"Ah, the mystery of your parents is solved," a kind voice said.

Rodney knelt down to smile at Swift before bowing to Neil and Gretta. "You have wonderful chicks. Very creative."

[Tiltjuice]

She chuckled and held the coin purse so he could see inside gaping maul containing the swirling vortex of doom that existed in that dimensional clusterf*ck of insanity Naomi called "the junk drawer".

"Just hammerspace," she said. "If I stick it in there, I can find it again. I'm sort of a hoarder."

Naomi watched Bran's actions. "You know, he's really sweet. Good hearted man."

"That makes hoarding quite convenient," Luce observed, twisting in his seat to watch Bran. "Quite so. He was very friendly last night, over tea."

[Torsiedelle]

"ah! Dēn Swith?
"Dā, dā. Æyāsā sā Mīnßtür Nikānør!"
"Hövēnweißen."

They smirked at each other and giggled again.

Yoshi blushed. "i-if you are going to talk about me the least you could do is say it in a tongue I can understand." he said with a hurt look.

"I just asked if she thought you were cute."
"I don't think so....but that's because I only like girls..."

[The BranRiech]

Without the approval or dissaproval of his friends, Bran let the small lantern set sail after lighting the candle with his lighter, a simple flint/steel setup much in the same way one would light a Bunsen burner.

Ths small thing sailed off only to list heavily thanks to the added weight of the medal. It didn't sink though, and only barely stayed afloat.

[Swith Witherward]

"That makes hoarding quite convenient," Luce observed, twisting in his seat to watch Bran. "Quite so. He was very friendly last night, over tea."

Naomi slipped the glasses onto his face. "Okay, this won't hurt. When the lenses work for your eyes, just tap the frame. It's not a totally permanent fix. I mean, if you get exposed to some heavy magical forces outside my pantheon, they'll revert back to where they were, and over time they'll lose that clarity, too. I'm just not that much in control of my powers yet."

One sand-blond eyebrow went up, but Luce nodded. "I'll keep that in mind."

[Urran]

"I just asked if she thought you were cute."
"I don't think so....but that's because I only like girls..."

Yoshi nodded in understanding and smiled faintly. "cute is one thing attractive is another. if you find someone cute, you think they look nice. if you find someone attractive...well, you get the idea." he said soflty and took small bites of his food, not being used to using a fork

[The Drone Empire]

Dani popped in from nowhere, again, rather than bringing a whole procession of trumpets and drums. He said he'd be late, which was quite alright. As humans said, "better late than never" - not that it made it any more alright to be late unless it was unavoidable. She didn't know what he was doing, but it better have been just shy of a political catastrophe for him to be late.

She searched around for a seat to take at a table. She spotted an open one, perfect for Darius. This time, Darius would be served, but she wondered if he might bring his own food. It would annoy her if he did, though he usually had his wits about him, he probably knew not to..

Rodney knelt down to smile at Swift before bowing to Neil and Gretta. "You have wonderful chicks. Very creative."

"Mummy! That's the nice guy who helped me down from the tree!" Swift said with his mouth full. "Those are kind words. Thank you for them and for helping my son." Gretta said. "Ah yes, a barrel of fun. I want them to grow up to cause mass destruction with their own creations. Say are you looking to buy an overly elaborate death trap?" Neil said. "Just put that thing in storage, we already have enough money." Gretta said.
